[News] 2AM’s Im Seulong shows off his king look for ‘Heaven’s Order’.

2AM’s Im Seulong has updated his personal Twitter on March 7th, “Crown Prince Yi? Here’s saying hello to everyone, I will become King Injong in future. Still not really comfortable with the moustache, but I think I will get used to it soon,” and attached two photos as well.

In the photos, Seulong is seen wearing his king robe in one of them, while he wears his black jacket over the robe in another. With his forced stern look, Seulong looked really comical.

Netizens who saw the photos said, “He really has a noble man look, and thus really suitable to wear the king’s robe,” “He has really upgraded himself, becoming a king from a 26 year old policeman, “Really looking forward to seeing Seulong flex his acting as the king.”

Seulong is cast as Crown Prince Yi Ho who would later become King Injong of Joseon. ‘Heaven’s Order’ revolves around a royal physician Choi Won (Lee Dong Wook) who is implicated in a plot to poison King Injong and goes on the run. At the same time, he tries to save Injong’s daughter who is suffering from an incurable disease. The drama will make its debut in April.
